Shooters opinion? Feel of fiberglass backing on both sides of bow limbs vs just
« on: March 19, 2018, 05:43:10 pm »
I'm planning a recurve bow build of hard maple and was wanting an opinion on if I should put fiberglass backing on both sides of the limbs or just on the back. I m steambox bending the limbs and was wondering on a hunters opinionf there was a significant difference in feel or power :)

you are in the wrong place to find an answer to that question.  The big governing rule of this site is that fiberglass is considered a swearword here.  only natural materials--except for strings and glue.
